Pimple-like Growth At The Middle Space Of My Buttocks

I have a pimple-like growth at the middle space of my buttocks. This is exactly at the end of my tail bone. earlier it was very small and will go off by itself, but now for the past one year it has been there and it varies in size in between. some days it looks small and some days large. whenever it becomes large in size it gives pain upon touching. what it is????

Does it seem to have pus in it? If it does, this might be a sign of a cyst. You should go to the doctor and have it checked in case because if it is a cyst, you will have to get surgery before it worsens.

Hello.Welcome.It looks like a pilonidal sinus.Consult a surgeon and if he confirms it then get it operated as it has no other cure.Good luck.

If it's boil-like it could be a genetic skin disease called Hidradenitis Suppurativa, but if you don't get them anywhere else, it probably isn't.

Could be a Pilonidal Cyst. Those you get on the tailbone or "Crack" of your buttock, very painful...Had one removed twice.
